Vladan, a merchant from Yaruna, embarks on a perilous journey down the Rasa River with a mysterious group of women: Nastasya, Devana, and Inna. Their journey is fraught with danger, including encounters with brigands, shadowy figures, and even a monstrous winged creature known as Zmekosch. Devana possesses a unique gift: a powerful voice that can heal, subdue, and even communicate through a "Silent Language." Their quest involves a mystical artifact known as the Crown of Flames, which holds the key to defeating Zmekosch and restoring balance to a world ravaged by the Blighting. The story unfolds with elements of fantasy, adventure, and a deep sense of mystery. The narrative explores themes of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to face the unknown. Comparable works include The Song of Achilles
